The Division of Music is the performing arts hub at Lubbock Christian University. Students of all majors participate in our musical ensembles, and music majors receive a rigorous and well-rounded education that prepares them for careers in music performance, education, therapy, production, business, worship ministry, and research.
As a music major at LCU, you will be welcomed into a supportive and engaging learning environment, and mentored by talented faculty members. Our highly collaborative area balances musical tradition with innovation, all within a strong Christian foundation that drives us to achieve excellence in all that we do. We offer degree plans in five major areas: Music Education, Music Business, Pre-Music Therapy, Worship Ministry, and the Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Music. More details regarding each program of study can be found on their respective links below.

LCU offers generous scholarships to music majors based on an audition for the music faculty prior to course registration. Most music major scholarships range from $1000-$2500 and up per year, and will stack with all other scholarships received. LCU also offers music scholarships for non-majors for participation in ensembles.
